#YouMeBigC podcaster. Journalist. Fundraiser. Our friend and colleague Dame Deborah James has died. She created an incredible legacy: breaking the poo taboo and raising awareness of bowel cancer. We are heartbroken, and our condolences are with her family.

I’m devastated by the death of Deborah James. She was a wonderful person who showed incredible support for the causes she cared about, right up until she died. Her legacy will live on for years to come. I’ll miss her greatly and I’m thinking of her family.

Deeply sad news. Dame Deborah James’ charity work was truly inspirational — even in the most challenging moments, she continued to raise awareness about bowel cancer and impacted so many people’s lives. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this difficult time.

I’m terribly saddened to hear that Dame Deborah James has died. What an inspiration she was to so many. The awareness she brought to bowel cancer and the research her campaigning has funded will be her enduring legacy. Because of her, many many lives will be saved.

Rest in Peace Dame Deborah James. We love you and will never forget you. Thank you for being you. Our thoughts and prayers to your family and friends. Love Ian & Jeremy. #DameDeborahJames
